The Assam government has proposed to impose tax on online shopping and e-commerce trade in the state. To tax the online shopping through the entry tax route, the government has proposed to amend in the Assam Entry Tax (Amendment) Bill 2014. It seeks to insert a residuary entry for levy of entry tax on goods not specified in any of the entry of the schedule. “The commissioner of taxes, with the prior approval of the state government may by notification in the official gazette formulate simple procedure for the collection of entry tax on entry of specified goods into any local area made through online purchase or e-commerce and such procedure may also provide for collection of entry tax from a person other than an importer but on behalf of the importer,” said the bill.
